Brownfields Survey for ECICOG Region to Begin Soon

Do you know of any ‘problem’ properties in your area? These could include abandoned downtown buildings, former industrial or commercial sites, warehouses, or closed gas stations.

ECICOG will be seeking potential Brownfields properties in our region to apply for a US EPA Brownfields Assessment grant. Brownfields are properties that may be challenging to redevelop due to the potential presence of hazardous materials (such as asbestos and lead-based paint) or other environmental contamination (such as abandoned tanks or spills). In the coming weeks be on the lookout for a survey from ECICOG to help identify and inventory potential properties that could be included in a Brownfields Assessment grant.
